Most skillful overall MMA ever? So far?

[All in]

If anyone says Anderson silva you are an idiot! Hes a southpaw big for his division, and has good genetics. Skill wise he is a good boxer andkicker, with a good grapple stifeling game, nothing remarkable about him, hes not on teh same level as some kickboxers that cross over into mma, he never faced a good kickoxer ever.


For me its either prime Fedor who has incredible striking submissions and takedowns really well rounded and technical small for his division.

or

Werdum, the current version has really good striking now and hes perhaps the best in the world at BJJ, thats an incredible skill set

Fedor, BJPenn and mighty mouse most well rounded. Jones and Silva most athletically gifted.

Sorry dude,,, it's silva...

He did face good kickboxers like cote, marquart, belfort.. And knocked them out

He faced great submission guys like lutter and meia,,, made lutter tap

He faced grapplers like sonnen

He fought brawlers like leben and forrest

He fought p4p guys like Franklin, hendo



Faced every style imaginable and pretty much dominated, many times at an opponent's own game..

Cote was a championship level kickboxer


A prime lyoto machida would also be a candidate for most skilled

He can sprint faster than Rhonda by about a yard, and wasnt as fast at the start

Im faster than Jon Jones

These "elite athletes" in MMA are not elite in sprinting ability or even that good.

What they are good at is what they do, which isnt sprinting.

Athletic is usually meant to describe sprinting, jumping and ability to produce speed/power.

Rhonda is more athletic than Jones, (inwards pointing knees, a woman, low T levels, and shorter legs, wide hisp and almost as fast) I think you just saw a black guy, ripped up on PED's and stereo typed, you were wrong.

However it could mean a wide range of things including endurance which si very slow

Dude I said he was more athletic than most mma fighters. I didn't say he could beat Usain bolt in a race.
